Thanks For Being Awesome...

This is for my cousin Debra... she is awesome.
I have many cousins... and they are all very interesting in their own way.
For me, my cousin Debra is special... 
We have had a weird, crazy, and awesome friendship for the longest time.
She gets me... and I don't have to explain much or finish my sentences...
and that is a big deal.

So, for my cousin Debra... 
I want to say to her...
Thanks for being Awesome...

A Christmas Star...

Christmas card factory is open...

For me this is the best part of Christmas,
 besides watching my kids open their gifts and them being excited for the holiday.

So hopefully making Christmas cards will make me more festive... 
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Christmas... I just am not a fan...
For so many reasons...
I prefer Halloween... I prefer 4th of July... not so much Christmas.
But I do love making Christmas cards.

Old Lady WOOOOH HOOOOO!... Happy Birthday Julie...

My sister Julie's Birthday is in December... 
She loves Zebra stripes... and the color red.
So for her birthday I made her this card.

When we were younger, we had a little cousin who use to call my sister "Old Lady WOOOOH HOOOOO!"
It drove my sister Julie nuts...
1) because he didn't call me that, and I am older than her... LOL
2) because he refused to call her by her name... only by Old Lady WOOOOH HOOO!

So after many years, we have learned to laugh at it, and it has become part of our family...
We laugh about it all the time.
And now thanks to our little cousin, now all our kids know the story and use it too... LOL...

To make this card I used:
Pixie Dust Studio's Digi - Jingles the Jester
you can find it here:

Black and White Stack by Recollections
Snowcap textured cardstock by Core'dinations
Black cardstock by Recollections
Gridlock Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz
Happy Days stamp By Cardz TV
Spectrum Noir: IG2
Inc. Starlightz Silver
Sakura pens:
Gelly Roll: M#49 black
Souffle: #944




Here is my sister Julie's birthday card:
 Front of card.  I just love the jester in black and white.



 Simple and clean and enough room to write a  birthday message.



I just love this digi... so adorable...

A Teachers Note...

This Christmas I will be giving my son's teacher and all 6 aides a set of note cards along with their gift.
They take such good care of my Daniel, and being a special education aide and teacher is hard work.
One thing I noticed is they write alot of notes.
So I decided that a set would be a good idea.
This set is for Daniel's teacher. Ms. B.


To make this set of note cards I used:
Digi from Bugaboo
called: Deacon School Sign It
you can find it here:

Spectrum Noir : CR11, IG4, TB3, EB7
Sakura:
 Gelly Roll: M#19 Red, M#29 Green, M#12 Brown, M#49 Black
Glaze: #803, #836
Souffle: #944, #927, #907
EK Success Punch Notebook
Tiny Tabs and Tags by Tim Holtz
Cardstock in Tan and Red
Ribbon by American Craft
ABC paper by Recollections
Frayed Burlap Distress Ink


My set of note cards:
Front of Card... I colored it to match my Daniel... he has hazel eyes, but the best I could do it yellow, green and a dab of brown...



Close up of Digi... super adorable...



Inside of the card I punched the tan cardstock with the notebook punch and left it blank so that she could have enough space to write her note.

My Christmas Elves...

Well I guess it's time to make Christmas cards.
I usually send out ones with a family photo...

Two on the front and one inside.

Let It Snow...

Christmas is upon us...
for me way too soon.
I am not a fan of green and red together, but I do love blue and white.
So in my home, all our decorations are blue, white, grey, glittered and an occasional pink, or Hello Kitty.

To make this card I used:
Cricut Cartridge Celebrate With Flourish
TPC Studio Powder Blue Shimmer Cardstock
Recollections All Seasons Stack
Blue Glitter paper
Core'dinations Snowcap
Stickles in Icicle
Foam Tape

Here is my card:
Front



Trying to show the Stickled snow flakes



Inside of my card... I made ice skates, that for some reason did not line up or match up in size with the shadow... so i cut them apart and made my own configuration.
